Chocolate Cake

May 16, 2017 by Claire Schmidt

I haven’t had sex in nearly two weeks.
Fridge full of Chinese takeout, a rotten tomato
and my laundry is starting to pile
also my body is weak
and I am craving something that might not exist
anyway,

‘alone’ is a problem. There are some things
my fingers just cannot heal, filling emptiness
with chocolate cake
plus
there is that feeling you get
when you’re always left hungry.
